I used to pick out mirrors manually and had servers very close to me, but I recently started using reflector to automate the process, but the mirrors it chooses is absolute dogshit and gives me really slow speeds.

What am I doing wrong?

You are sorting by age, there is probably an option for sorting by speed or similar. You are already only choosing from the latest 5 synchronized mirrors, which should be very much up-to-date, so I'd sort by speed.

And IMO, your countries are not that many, maybe increase the list and double --latest to 10.

Thank you. I will apply your recommendations.
